Raymond Hettinger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: Will take a look at this one but am inclined to reject it. The timing benefits are marginal at best and only help in the atypical case of mixed floats and ints. The patch changes the type and ordering of intermediate sums, resulting in different answers than the standard sum ().
In contrast, the existing fast sum() was carefully designed to mimick the operations of the original sum(), so it always produces the same results. ---------- assignee: -> rhettinger nosy: +rhettinger __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2785> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
